It was alleged by the deceased’s reputed wife that on 2021-07-11 about 17:30hrs, she, and Taitt were at home, when the landlady told them in the presence of the suspect that they have up to the 14th July 2021 to move out.
On the date and time of the alleged murder, the family was asleep when they were awakened by the suspect banging their apartment door with a piece of wood while shouting on them to move out.
